Chapter 128
Chu Yanzi stood beside Emperor Yong, glanced at Concubine Xian, frowned almost imperceptibly, and was a little worried. It was not because of the fear of Concubine Xian leaving evidence, but because of Emperor Yong's condition.
Chu Yanzi's hands tightened, and suddenly he heard footsteps. Chu Yanzi looked over and finally let go of his heart that was slightly raised.
The eldest princess ran over in the rain, and the nanny who was holding her umbrella could not catch up with her at all. After she ran closer, she knelt down and hugged Xianfei, looking at Emperor Yong vigilantly, as if she was afraid that he would do something to Xianfei.
"Fu'er, why are you here?" Concubine Xian's face finally changed a little. She stretched out her hand and kept away from the hair on the eldest princess's face.
The eldest princess did not answer the words of Concubine Xian and kept staring at Emperor Yong. She was now ten years old. Seeing that Emperor Yong looked bad, she suppressed the awe of him in her heart and asked,
"Father, what are you going to do to your mother?"
The moment he saw the eldest princess, Emperor Yong's face changed. Among the only three remaining children in the harem, the one he loved the most was Nian'er, but the one he felt most guilty was Fu'er. Seeing the eldest princess vigilant and afraid, but without admiring eyes, Emperor Yong also felt a little painful in his heart. He turned his eyes away and spoke, as if he was a little discouraged.
"No."
The eldest princess was obviously relieved, softened her expression, hugged Xianfei, and shivered in the rain. When her heart suddenly relaxed, the eldest princess couldn't help but buried her in Xianfei's arms and cried out. She had just seen her father looking at her mother like that. She was so scared, as if she was back when she was a child, they knelt at the door of the Jiaofang Hall.
Concubine Xian's face was full of heartache, she stroked the eldest princess' hair, looked at the nanny beside her, "Take the eldest princess back and change her clothes."
Shen Guipin looked at the scene in front of him, reached out to hold Emperor Yong's trouser legs, and trembled, "Emperor! It's really her! You can't let the real murderer go! Your Majesty, I'm wronged!"
Before Emperor Yong could speak, the eldest princess pushed her away, "You bad guy! Don't slander my mother!"
"What kind of pride is it?" Emperor Yong saw the movements of the eldest princess, his face changed, and he looked at Shen Guipin and the others with a cold look. The princesses of a country and the concubine's mother were tugging, which was simply not decent!
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is still young, and she is eager to protect her mother at this time, so don't blame her." Chu Yanzi said a good thing for the eldest princess in time.
Emperor Yong didn't want to blame the eldest princess, so he followed the steps given by Chu Yanzi and said coldly, "Pull Concubine Shen down!"
"Your Majesty! You're really a Virtuous Concubine! No, no, Imperial Concubine! The Imperial Concubine and Virtuous Concubine will definitely collude! The Emperor!"
If Emperor Shen said that Concubine Shen had said the Virtue before, Emperor Yong still had some doubts. Now, she was involved in Chu Yanzi, which made Emperor Yong's heart disappear.
The matter ended in a confused manner, and many concubines did not understand what was going on. Why did Emperor Yong decide that it was Concubine Shen who harmed the Empress Dowager? But looking at Emperor Yong's face, no one dared to question it.
The Queen Mother's affairs were handled very grandly, and no one in the palace dared to be lazy. Chu Yanzi knelt for three consecutive days. Even if Emperor Yong felt sorry for her, the rules of the ancestors could not be spared from her kneeling ceremony. Even Emperor Yong himself was too tired these days, let alone the Queen Mother's death, which was a serious blow to him.
That day, the imperial edict of the Shen family to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan came. Many Shen family members still couldn't believe that this would happen to them, not to mention that Chen's father was the prime minister of the dynasty. If there was no evidence, Emperor Yong would not know how to blame him when he was reported.
The Shen family naturally would not be willing to receive the order so easily. After a long time of trouble, it was not until Emperor Yong threw the things found by the secret guards in front of them that they dared to truly believe it. It turned out that the Shen family was really finished and did not dare to shout anymore, but cried and did not dare to accept it still existed, and Concubine Chen was even hated by them.
Even if he is sad, things will pass. Two months later, Emperor Yong only occasionally went to Jujiu Hall to sit, but never stayed at night. Chu Yanzi knew in his heart that within a hundred days, Emperor Yong would definitely be filial to the Empress Dowager and be considerate.
Chu Yanzi's birthday banquet this year was not held. Instead, it was the end of May when the little prince captured Zhou banquet. At this time, the empress dowager's mourning period was also passed. Because the harem was lifeless recently, Emperor Yong ordered a grand ceremony.
Early this morning, Chu Yanzi helped Emperor Yong tidy up his belt and observed Emperor Yong. Seeing that he seemed to have recovered from nature, he smiled slightly on his face.
Emperor Yong saw her little movements, reached out to put his hand around her, kissed her forehead, and then pressed her chin against her hair, "What are you looking at?"
Chu Yanzi surrounded his waist, leaned obediently in his arms, and shook his head gently, looking as if the years were quiet.
"A Yan is ready to capture Zhou Yan by Nian'er?" Emperor Yong held her and sat on the soft couch, shifting the topic to Nian'er.
Chu Yanzi glanced at him, and with charm in every move, he picked up the tea in Bai Hua's hand and handed it to Emperor Yong. He was a little puzzled, "What do I want to prepare? Haven't you handed it all over to the emperor?"
This look of nonchalant world made Emperor Yong shake his head, but he remembered another thing. The harem has no master, who should be allowed to manage the affairs of the six palaces? Shunkou mentioned to Chu Yanzi,
"Ayan is fine now, can we keep in charge of the matters in the harem?"
Chu Yanzi's movements were paused, and Emperor Yong's words were naturally not a test. Because she had the highest position in this palace, it was most appropriate for her to take charge of the affairs of the six palaces. However, there were so many things in the harem, and she still had Nian'er to take care of and didn't want to take over.
"Your Majesty, I don't have this experience, so why would I let the sister Xianfei take care of me?"
Looking at Chu Yanzi, she saw that she was full of sincerity and without any dissatisfaction. Emperor Yong knew that she really didn't want to care, but he wanted her to take this right. After all... she always had to learn how to manage. Emperor Yong thought about it and got a compromise.
"This way, you manage the harem, and I will ask the Virtue to help you."
Seeing that Chu Yanzi seemed to have the intention of rejection, Emperor Yong looked at her with a serious look in his eyes. He held her hand and said meaningfully, "You should learn it. You can't always let others help you manage it in the future."
This made Chu Yanzi pause and glance at Emperor Yong deeply, but saw Emperor Yong withdraw his gaze. Could it be that he meant... Chu Yanzi bit his lip, suddenly smiled, and said softly,
"Okay, I'll listen to the emperor."
If it really does what you think, the task should be almost completed.
Chu Yanzi leaned in Emperor Yong's arms, in a place where Emperor Yong couldn't see, his eyes were slight and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
In the early May, the wind was bright and sunny. Now the harem can be basically said to be Chu Yanzi's world. He is favored and is the concubine with the highest position in the harem. The virtuous concubine of the same level as her is determined to make friends with her. Since the emperor ordered her to manage the harem, the people in the palace didn't know what they thought. They arrived at Jujiu Palace every morning, and called it a good gift, please.
Chu Yanzi took off the pastry in Nian'er's hand and put it in his mouth. Looking at Nian'er's frown together, his eyebrows and eyes instantly opened.
After the care of her, Concubine Xian, who did not return to the palace, sat next to her. She watched her bullying Nian'er, shook her head gently, coughed lightly, and signaled her not to make trouble.
Chu Yanzi seemed to realize that someone around him had retracted his hand awkwardly, then smiled at Concubine Xian with some embarrassment, and then asked in confusion, "Sister, are there anything wrong today?"
Usually, the fair concubines left with the concubines because they were busy, but they stayed today.
"Um."
Concubine Xian replied softly. Chu Yanzi became more and more confused and curious. She asked casually, but she didn't expect Concubine Xian to have something to do. She asked the nanny to carry Nian'er down, then sat up straight and asked her,
"What's up?"
"Ayan, do you still remember Concubine Fu?" Concubine Xian's eyes turned deeper, and she opened her eyes to pick up the tea in her hand.
Chu Yanzi didn't notice this detail. Of course, she remembered the nobleman Fu, not because she was so special, but because... she was Fu Yan's sister. Thinking of Fu Yan, the smile on the corner of Chu Yanzi's mouth became lighter, but she didn't wait for anyone to see it and returned to the same as before.
He approached Concubine Xian, picked up a piece of pastry she had with her and put it in her mouth, and then asked slowly, "Guru Fu, I remember, what's wrong with her?"
Guiren Fu has been silent since he was born. Could it be that he has come out again at this time?
Looking at Chu Yanzi's performance, Concubine Xian knew that she was lazy again and did not pay attention to these people at all. She glared at her slightly before saying,
"It's nothing, I just heard that she has communicated with her family several letters."
Chu Yanzi paused in the movements in her hand, raised her eyebrows and looked at Xianfei, but she didn't understand the meaning of Xianfei. Although Fu Guiren's hometown is far away in Shuzhou, it is normal to write a few letters from her family background. Why do you have to tell me about it?
"Is there anything wrong with this?"
Concubine Xian closed her eyebrows, "It's not surprising if she had communicated with Shuzhou, but she was communicating with Fu Yan in the capital. You must know that her two legitimate brothers died unfortunately. It's unclear whether there is a shadow of Fu Yan. How could she communicate with Fu Yan?"
Chu Yanzi could understand what Xianfei said, and she was also very curious about why Concubine Fu had letters with Fu Yan? The relationship between them should be described as hostility, right?
"Sister has told me about this, I must know the reason. Don't keep it aside, tell me."
Chu Yanzi pulled the sleeve of Concubine Xian and shook it gently, holding on to her, she acted coquettishly and refused to let go.
Xianfei let her move and leaned on the back chair, feeling quite relaxed. After a while, she said,
"Because, nobleman Fu didn't know."
"What?" Chu Yanzi was a little surprised. Concubine Fu didn't know what it meant? Fu Yan stopped her news? Fu Yan had already mastered all the power of the Marquis of Jinghou Mansion in Qi?
The eyes of Xianfei were dim. She didn't expect that the little imperial physician who used to be had such skills, but this was not the point. What she wanted to say today is,
"I know you may not know anything outside the palace. Concubine Fu's grandfather's family is also in the capital. He is an old fox. He vaguely noticed Fu Yan's small moves just a few times. After all, he could not let the only granddaughter ignore it."
Chu Yanzi listened to her words, but her eyelashes trembled and asked inexplicably, "This should be considered a family matter of King Jing of Qi. Why did my sister tell me about this?"
Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with her, so why is it worthy of Xian Fei's explanation to her?
"You naturally know the reason."
Concubine Xian said it lightly, and even had a faint smile in her tone, but Chu Yanzi suddenly sank in her heart, looking at Concubine Xian without any change, no longer asking her about this question,
"What then? Does Concubine Fu know who is communicating with her?"
Seeing that she avoided talking, Concubine Xian also let her change the topic, "Of course I know, but her grandfather would not help her too much."
"Why is this?"
As soon as she said this, Concubine Xian was surprised. Concubine Xian frowned slightly and said in a quips, "Do you really don't know, or are you fake? Her grandfather's granddaughter is also in the palace. If he wants to help, he will definitely help his granddaughter."
Chu Yanzi's eyes flashed. She quickly entered the palace since she traveled through time. She did know these forces outside the palace more shallower than others, especially, who is whose granddaughter. How could she know that after entering the palace, as long as she does not have a higher position than her, she still has to salute her?
"Then who is this?"
"It's an old man, Xiao Shuyi."
"Is it her?" When it comes to Xiao Shuyi, Chu Yanzi knew a little. Xiao Shuyi was favored, and there was a couple of days in a month. In this harem where many concubines were not seen, they were also favored.
However, when I saw her in the past, she was considered the only one who was dedicated to her. Although she was not as good as Zhao Jieyu, she was also considered a person who would not make people feel bored.
Chu Yanzi didn't pay much attention to Xiao Shuyi and continued to ask, "What do you want to say today?"
Concubine Xian glanced at her, "Xiao Shuyi is second, only one point. After Fu Guiren knew that he was deceived, he went to Xiao Shuyi's palace once. No matter how they said that they were cousins and sisters. If they could help, they would naturally help some of them."
She couldn't make the point, and Chu Yanzi frowned and looked at her reluctantly.
"They seem to be checking the matters during the time when Fu Yan asked you for Ping'an's pulse."
Concubine Xian looked at her fingertips and said this sentence gently.
Chu Yanzi moved his fingers, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. He looked at Concubine Xian deeply, "Thank you sister."
